Autumn news
After a great summer full of sunbathing, hitchhiking and postcard-writing we are getting prepared for new gigs and recordings of brand new songs. In october we will do a short weekend tour to Germany and by then we will have a finished CD and some other "bös" to meet the needs of our very demanding fanbase. As always we'd love to come around and play in your hometown, so send us a message if anything is happening and you want The Medalist to be there.
Ok, that's all for now!

The new Website

The Medalist
The Medalist started out during the football-crazed summer of 2006 with Christian and Jonas meeting through an ad on the internet. Drummer Johan and bass player David joined during the fall, making the band a band for real. After a year of his best drumming Johan left for Norrland and was replaced by Andreas, giving the band it's present line-up.

Three songs were recorded in Olis's studio Kepner Treg on Tredje Långgatan one weekend in March 2007, and released as a single on lovely indie label Cloudberry Records. In the months that followed another three songs were recorded, and a five track self-titled EP was released in the beginning of 2008. The song "Foreign Language" is also featured on Cloudberry Records' Apple Crumble compilation CD released in Japan.

The Medalist enjoys long strolls, rice cookies and smelling like cigarettes. We would love to be your friend.

We are always interested in playing live, if you want us to, just send us a myspace message or write an email to tmedalist[at]gmail.com

PETER BRODERICK// the multi talented multi instrumentalist graces M:Soundtrack with yet another promised amazing show on June 4th. Coming originally from Oregon, Peter has played and toured with numerous groups from Portland and has established himself as a regular session musician for numerous recording studios, adding violin, banjo, musical saw, mandolin etc to artists such as M. Ward, Zooey Deschanel, and many more.  In 2007 Peter joined the Danish ensemble Efterklang, and moved to Copenhagen. He brings with him his solo album „Home“. www.myspace.com/peterbroderick

THE WIND WHISTLES// Tom and Liza are the Wind Whistles an indie folk duo, from Vancouver. They think they sound like a cross of Lemonheads and Violent Femmes while people tell them they sound like a cross of the Decemberists and the Moldy Peaches.  www.myspace.com/thewindwhistles

NILS FRAHM//geboren 1982, kam früh zur Musik. Von Nahum Brodski am Klavier unterrichtet tummelte er sich Ende der achtziger Jahre in klassisch co-notierten und ECM beeinflussten Klangwelten. Im Alter von 12 Jahren begann er mit eigenen Bands Streifzüge durch die Musik, bis er Anfang des neuen Jahrtausends den Computer und Steve Reich entdeckte. www.myspace.com/nilsfrahm
